got caught up again
who: Anderson and you, hopefully! Open!
what: Anderson tries to adjust after arrival. Prompts for floor 10 in the communal housing, the shooting range, and shopping. Also feel free to respond with anything! She's on the police force so any potential coworkers have an easy way to run into her, or be doing something suspicious and she'll investigate. Additionally, I have no attachment to prose, so please feel free to switch to brackets.
when: Various
where: Various
warnings: She is telepathic and empathic, although not very aggressive with it. But please fill out her permissions before threading!
> FLOOR 10
Anderson is an astonishingly easy roommate to adjust to. It might even take a while to realize she's there. She's used to Spartan living, and it shows: she never leaves traces of her presence around in the communal areas, and she cleans up after herself promptly, immediately. That doesn't mean she's a hermit. She's morbidly interested in meeting all of her roommates, just not quite forward enough to seek them out in a concerted fashion.
But feel free to describe something they would be doing on an average day, and perhaps they could run into each other.
> SHOOTING RANGE
About the only place she still wears her Judge's armor now is the shooting range, where she goes to clear her mind and practice with the local firearms. She intends to get up to snuff on every single weapons comp there is, as one of the only remaining things that she considers inside her comfort zone. Some part of her relaxes just to be back in the uniform with a gun in her hands.
Anderson has never considered herself one of those Judges that can't turn off when they're off the job, but she's starting to realize that only works in comparison to other Judges. Not in comparison to average citizens, or at least not the ones here. She feels completely unmoored, at a loss, pretending she knows what she's doing as she's had to pretend so often before. When she's really having a hard time adjusting, she uses her Lawgiver, keeps up on pure target practice. She's frighteningly efficient, and she doesn't practice only kill shots; she fires to disable as often as to kill.
The new weaponry takes more concentration, but is enjoyable in its own way. She can be found several days a week practicing, if not shooting then stances, smooth reloading, safe carrying positions. She's thorough.
> SHOPPING
Easily the strangest part of her week is shopping. Anderson's prior shopping experiences have been starkly divided: the dim memories of her childhood in the poorest slums of the city, where her parents could barely afford anything and shopping was fast, sparse; and the luxuries she used her tiny disposable income on as an academy student, the Hall of Justice providing everything she needed to live and nothing more, same as a military cadet. Those were a chance to breathe, an excuse to get out and be among the people she wanted to protect as much as it was to fulfill the purpose of shopping.
Here, in the Quarantine, she is here to shop. She needs clothes. Toiletries. Cooking supplies. Books to read-- for pleasure. It's a bit overwhelming, truth told, not in the scope but just in the mundanity of it. Anderson had gone from poor mutie to terrifying Judge with nothing in-between, and suddenly being thrust into average daily life is a bit baffling. She doesn't dislike it, though. She enjoys the chance to see life from a new angle, appreciates the amount of decisions she can make with no consideration for regulations or for anyone else. She can take her time, since she's still in training at police headquarters and hasn't shifted to a full time schedule yet.
She had to rent a car for the day in order to have somewhere to stash all her purchases. Circumspect and restrained, she doesn't have a ton of them, but here and there she can be found poking through more feminine shopping areas, makeup or jewelry or sundresses, pondering. It's not a part of herself she's ever really considered before, usually on the defensive or the offensive, never just herself, and she's curious.
For about a week, you can run into her shopping for just about anything, poking around in interest even if she has no intent to buy.

This is... all very out of her comfort zone. But-- she can land on her feet. And making connections is part of that, as well as being something that goes much more easily here, rather than being harder, like everything else. ]
Thanks. [ Tea doesn't sound bad, if he's offering. Anderson wanders over to the stove, glancing at the helmet in his hand as she goes. She's dressed in civvies today, but still has her Lawgiver pistol on her hip. Normally, Judges all wear helmets, although she doesn't due to interference with her psychic abilities. ]
What happened to your helmet? [ It's a logical question, and she's not shy. ]
no subject
Monster near the fence. When I went to intercept it, it spit this stuff at me. [Giving up on the rag, he drops it into the bucket and then tries to fit his whole helmet in there with it. Maybe just soaking for a while will dissolve or loosen up the strings of monster goo.] I guess I was lucky to have my armor on... Hate to think what would happen if you got this in your eyes.
[He can't be sure it's venom, but he'd be willing to bet at least a little munny, or some Units, that it is.
With all his training and experience traveling worlds, culture shock hasn't been much of a problem for him. The impossibly wide variety of creatures that lurk outside the fences, most of which seem to have their own unique ways of trying to kill him, though... That's taken some getting used to.
Sitting back, Terra turns his attention to his roommate. His new roommate. For a second, his eyes fix on that pistol she wears at her hip. His new roommate with a gun.]
I'm Terra.
[Unlike a certain other roommate of theirs, Terra's plenty familiar with strong women in fighting occupations. And he does immediately assume she's some sort of... soldier or guard. Although, he supposes the weapon could just be for personal protection...]
Bed ten. [He splays his hand across his chest.] Teacher's assistant at one of the schools they have here for young kids and I'm with the Perimeter Guard now, too.
[The full introduction, so to speak.]
no subject
She appreciates hearing the factual account of the monster he'd run into, files that away as a possible threat. ]
Anderson, [ she replies briefly as her own introduction, pouring herself some tea as invited to. ] Bed one. Police. [ Also part of being a Judge: being short on words until she gets comfortable with someone. ]
... How do you like being on the Guard? [ Since that was her second choice. ]
